I would not knock the Capri RS myself. Built 4 bangers with big turbo’s are serious business. F1 in 86 had 1.5 liter inline 4 cylinders with big turbo’s pushing 4 bar @ close to 1500 hp. No joke...

7.9 @ 172. Yep they are slow...What some stupid click bait a 74 Pinto a muscle car
I think he may have posted the wrong photo clearly. As you mentioned the early 70 and 71 had some getup still. Here is a photo of a 1979 Olds 442 which was a slug.Well ya gotta consider that the author of the article was at best uninformed or at worst clueless. The 442 was a 71 or 72, not a 79. Why let that big a mistake slip? The 71s still had a little kick to em. FWIW, that Monza can take a 454 small block, drop right in. No one wouldn't call that a muscle car.
Mine had a 74 Pinto. Looked like it saw duty at Iwo Jima.My MIL had a new tan Maverick V8. I think it had plaid seats. It moved pretty good, sleeper.
I would also like a King cobra, The Pinto? Never!This is the 2nd "muscle car" list I have seen in about a week. My question. When in the history of the world was the Pinto ever considered a muscle car? Also I would absolutely love to have a King Cobra right now
